This giant blue bird roams either in the northernmost part of westfall (the shore), southernmost (Near deadmines) easternmost (dead acre) and chooses not to go near the eastside.

Whats this guys spawn rate? I only see him maby one time every few months....

Comment by vilden

Guys ... can somebody help me please ? I searched all the places from the picture .. no sign of Vultros.. can u tell me if he is in some place at a special hour ? or a hint please... Thx

Comment by DrCheis

This guy will take a LONG time to hunt down. Westfal is the favored leveling area for the Alliance, and the home of the best dungeon ever, Deadmines. Combined with his multiple spawn points across the map, the odds of somebody else getting to him before you are great. Took me months to finally track this one down. And of course I got the green...

Comment by haloman800

when i was but a wee lvl 19 i saw him and i let my friend lvl 30 kill him and he got the blue. ever since then i looked everywhere for him and finaly killed him and got the blue myself.. i gave it to my lower lvl friend as a gift tho (p.s. he is hunter tamable)

Comment by vinnyviking

Found him at the Furlbrows Pumkin farm at 51,20

Comment by tigereye

would be a nasty suprise for a lvl 15 - 22

Comment by mmorpgaddict

I've seen this badboy twice in all my time playing WOW. The first as a noob, in which a bunch of other noobs banded together and we downed him... cloak dropped. Second time when a rerolled a rogue, a warrior and priest grouped with me to help kill him and booya! the dagger dropped... I was a very happy rogue that day.

Comment by twarden94

So finding him will be like finding a fish before cats do (cats being other players)

If you dont get the saying dont rate it

Comment by TommyT

found him last nite killed an got cape ill look again soon

Comment by Unrimo

Just killed him, and he dropped the Dagger on my Dranei Priest. My rogue will be very happy though :D

Comment by Moonking1983

When I first saw Vultros, I wanted to tame him...then I realized my character wasnt a hunter. -.-; So since I couldnt tame him, I killed him and got the rare dagger. Sold for almost 100g on my realm. :D I was pretty happy.

Anyway, yeah it'll take forever to find him, since he can be pretty much anywhere and he has a long respawn timer.

Comment by 1Beachcomber

This is one of the hardest pets to tame I have seen. It took my L32 hunter approximately 15 minutes to finally tame him. He has a knockdown ability called Swoop that procs every few seconds.

Finally I was able to last long enough to dodge a Swoop and he must have ran out of Focus to continue to cast it.

Comment by hunterowns

i was born here in Westfall and never i have seen this fantastic blue bird in my hole life and his valuefull talon thats it from farmer Bob in Westfall Ji di Le Doo!

Comment by coresane1995

Comment by shankntank

Comment by Hipoint64

Is the dagger bind when piked up?

Comment by Darthdavo

Just saw this mob on my mage, got my main around here, and a lvl 20 hunter just got him -_-; It dropped a cape after i asked him

Comment by whitewolfiemark

killed this guy with a gnome rouge, the rouge was 12 and i was 21 solo'd the guy and the mace & dagger droped, i was shocked untill i noticed the bugger had ninja- "looted" both items cloth and mony. Lame =-( btw this was around 4-5 years ago or so. still havent really seen him around. so if you're at it. he barely spawns.

Comment by sky3union

also his talon was one of the best dagger in the game before weapon speed normalization came out (although not suited for twinks as its lvl 21 required)

only seen him once about 4 years ago (played mostly horde since then), and the thrill~l! of just witnessing this magnificent bird in flight! .....and i killed him after logging in with my lvl 26 rogue :Phe dropped his dagger, and as i haven't touch that account after that i guess the dagger will still be in my bag

in regards to hunters...i wouldn't suggest on taming this guy... like every other mob after tamed he will reduce in size not retaining his former glory that sets apart from other ghostly carrion birds but simply become a 'Pet'

i would appreciate it if you show respect and make him keep his dignity by just slaying him >.<(tame the carribon bird with the same model as Vultros)

Comment by thedot

Just killed him today at 35,69.

Dropped a green cloak.

Comment by kahjokaapio

I boosted a lvl 19 warrior in dm. After that we were going to Sentinel Hill, then we saw this bird. Dropped the cape and I gave it to the warrior.

Btw he's huge, bigger than the Greater Fleshrippers and the lowest level tameable blue vulture, but its gonna take alot of time to track him down though. You can just wait till lvl 32 and then tame a Dread Swoop in Desolace.

Comment by Krowman75

I tamed as a lvl28 hunter daze and a frost trap first i put down the trap and then i dazed him when i dazed him i immediatly started taming then the frost trap went off and i tamed him right when he swooped me.

Comment by ThoriumGargoyle

I KNOW ITS OBVIOUS IM JUST SAYING:

Vultros appears to be a reference to the word ''Vulture'' which is Vultros' species, also known as a Carrion Bird.

Comment by persuader

i ran into him on my friends rogue at 21 and i killed him with another rogue but he said he didnt need the dagger it dropped oh and it was by the pond

Comment by Hirix

Found it Furlbrow's Pumpkin farm today. But me being a lvl 14 I called on a guildy to come help. Just as she got here, a lvl 80 hunter killed it then hearths off. ^&*!es me off so much

Comment by skidmark440

I read up about this guy and decided to come here every day on my lvl 32 priest while i was lvling. After 2 weeks, I found him east of moonbrook. I killed him easily and i got the green. I was so happy i decided to delete the green.

Comment by dumac

was lucky seeing him on my rogue in westfall. He was a bit too high for me so i relogged to my lock, get to the westfall and start with a dot bcs i thought it was funny dot killing it.

Sadly my pet was out so he jumped the pet and one shotted before dot worked so could not loot him.

Now i read about the dagger i wanna slithe my wrist lol:(

Lesson: do not use pet out for this is you high level hehe

Comment by Bronsskagg

found him close to a burned house along the gnolls in the Dust Plains he dropped dagger for me.

Comment by TEC2010

I've managed to see Him only once in 4 years without actually looking for Him. When I saw Him my now 80 Warrior was a level 19 and was not able to kill Him. He was an Elite then,don't know if He is now.He was to the left of the vendors in Sentinel Hill in the hills just behind that field where the Goretusks and Vultures are.I was fighting 2 vultures and He came down from the hills and attacked I don't know if they were linked to Him or just in range.Anyhow by the time I rezzed He was gone never to be seen over the course of normal travels again.Good luck and happy hunting to all that wish to find Him.

Comment by Blbeccz

when a hunter Tames a elite like this then be GOOD prepared!

Comment by keennyy

this guy looks awesome, i'm totally forgetting my bat for this guy. besdies, every time i go to see a rare it's already there, i just hope there are too many noobs in westfall today for him to be killed or tamed before me

Comment by SmileHead

I think this rare mob are one of the really cool ones because he drops a blue item in low lvl. And you can figure out that he is going to drop somthing cool because he's a lvl 26 and the mobs around are 14-20. good luck^^

Comment by Ironfingers

Just found him flying through the Gnoll Camps in southern Westfall, just west of the Defias Tower near the river between Duskwood/Westfall.

I found him once a long time ago as well, in Furlbrow's fields.

I must say, this is probably one of the most rare 'rare' beasts, and would make for a unique hunter pet. It looks pretty menacing, too. :)

Comment by amonrah

I've played this game for four years....a couple days ago, was the first time ever i found this spawn... my Mage took care of him fairly easily...but was only rewarded with the cloak....honestly I feel some of these rare spawns shouldhave better gear at a higher drop rate

Comment by amonrah

Whaaaaa....this was the first time in the four years I've played WOW that I met this guy...and all it got was alousy t-shirt...lol...no I'm kidding....got the feathered cloak.....as rare as this guy is....meebe making the drops a little more worth the time would rock

Comment by desperdyret

This is really rare, though I met it first time today :D

Comment by soulstoned

Currently in the beta vultros is a level 10 non elite.

Comment by Bnecse

I saw him near the walls of Sentinel Hill and now he is level 10 elite.

Comment by darkvaderguy

I didn't even go lookin for him while i was questing on my NE hunter and i found him and tamed, from reading these coments i guess that i got very lucky in getting to tame him!

Comment by Aurelibot

They must have nerfed the respawn time on this mob with Cataclysm.

Last night, I stumbled onto Vultros's corpse by accident on my little hunter and zoned out beside him. No more than an hour later, I zoned back in and he had respawned.

Needless to say, I tamed him. Beautiful animal.

Comment by Beikon

Used to be a level 26 extremely rare spawn in Westfall that had a chance of dropping a blue dagger. (Talon of Vultros)

Now he's level 10 and drops white items most of the time and has a fast respawn time (for a rare mob).

Come on Blizzard, rare spawns have feelings too...

Comment by JDCoolMan21

I had JUST come back from Northrend on my level 14 hunter where I tamed a Daggercap Hawk (Really nice looking bird, hard to get though) Any way, I flew to westfall to train him up really fast, when all of a sudden I see this Vultros bird flying right next to me. I hopped back on the taxi and flew to Stormwind to stable my new found Daggercap Hawk. Came back and he was still there. I attempted to tame him. It was no problem. Although the character I was using was a twink, so I had really high hit points. I think maybe he took away about 1/100 of my health before I had him tamed. I was realy disapointed however after I tamed him, that he shrunk WAY down in size, and he lost his unique name, and was simply called carrion bird. He also lost his silver rare spawn dragon that was around his portrait. I believe now he has just basic stats like any other Fleshripper that you find in the area. However, he does have an AWESOME color to him that no other hunters at that level will have. So yeah, thats my story with this bird. I'm done now. :-)

Comment by Snikmord

Vultros used to be a rare level 26 elite that could drop Talon of Vultros*. Spawning in an area intended for characters level 10-20 this bird could bring both laughter and tears at the same time - usually the latter. Since then the bird has been made non-elite (still level 26) and now finally nerfed to a rare level 10 non-elite mob.

*The dagger's original stats have since been modified to fit the "new" level of Vultros. However, it is not known if the dagger still drops...

Comment by ladyred3377

got him tonight after about 45 mins of looking and killing reaper 4000 i went to stormwind and then my boy friend said hurry up he is here so i rushed out and am now a proud owner of him .. he is beautyful. i love him and makes a great pet.. tamed on quel 'dor server

Comment by Coldtusk

i think the name is a reference to Ultros from FF3 for SNES

Comment by nintendorichard

I saw him twice today. Once at 6:00 at the Jansen Stead and again at 10:00 at Saldean's Farm.

Comment by Firecite

I have been hunting Vutros for the dagger three day straight . He spawns every half hour. All I have gotten is green, white and junk... (Over 28 Kills each... On 2 different servers) Since he is no longer a 26 elite... I haven't heard of anyone getting the dagger.... Nice pet and making a little off the green but I was more in it for the weapon.... :-/

Comment by username12

i just tamed him today. it looks awesome in BGs :)

Comment by GingerGiant

Vultros respawns fairly regularly. I'm not quite sure the time frame, but I've seen him twice, possibly an hour between each sighting. He spawns at a different place each time, and does not appear to wander between the areas indicated on the map. Make sure to check the haystacks with reapers south of Saldean's Farm. I overlooked that spot.

Comment by Karbo

Just killed him and got lvl 5 cloak.. Westfall is lvl 10-15 so why a lvl 5 item drops is confusing.

Comment by Feydakin

After killing him several times since Cataclysm I can almost guarantee because of the level change that he no longer drops the dagger. I am not sure if it still drops at all.

Comment by austinslipp

i got it at 4 in the morning

Comment by alfonsgruber

@austinslipp:

do you mean you got the dagger or simply got an encounter with the mob?

thanks

Comment by biggaz69

It now re-spawns every 45 mins or so..I'd say at the most an hour. Was lvl'ing my LW up when I first spotted it near the jansen stead, offered it to a lvl 12 hunter who then went and shot it as he didn't understand what taming was? new player I guess :P then I spotted it around 45 mins later near saldeans farm.

Comment by seanotd

Was running through the area on my Hunter, grinding with a trash pet when I saw this guy fly right through a pack of reapers. There was a Warlock just a few yards away, finishing off a reaper, so I quickly abandoned my current pet and nabbed this guy before he could be murdered :P I put him to good use through my 10s and 20s but I ultimately got rid of him at 70 when I found Spiteflayer. Him along with Zaricotl are hands down the nicest looking vultures in the game.

Comment by Zumr

I'm sure you guys aren't crazy but it was really easy to find him. I'm sorry to say but I killed him, but it was like so easy to find him! took me like a minute. I don't know about taming him but he was easy to find, good luck! I got the boots.

Comment by GriffinMaverick

For people who would like a little bit more of a visual reference I found him at 49,32; flying in between the overloaded harvest golems. Fairly simple tame, no knockback or anything as far as my taming experience went. Doesn't retain its huge size of course, but its still a lovely pet.

Comment by kittiria

I found it and killed it on my hunter witout thinking, 45 mins later i found his corpse somewhere else. then i went into arathi basin and when i was done he respawned and i tamed :) so pretty!~

Comment by elys3

Every time I log on there are about 20 people in this area. I saw him once, over a week ago and haven't since. Guess I'm gonna have to get on in the middle of the night in order to spot him again before someone kills him :/

Comment by Mogorairn

Just accidently killed him on my F2P hunter and got the blue dagger... =(
